                     5.0 Ecological Functions
                     5.1 Wetland/Waterways Value
                     Wetlands and waterways are significant conduits for dispersal (therefore often associated with
                     ‘corridor’ function) as they contain a variety of forage/refuge micro-habitats in addition to
                     channelling runoff and uptake of nutrients from stormwater. Such are often characterised by
                     fertile alluvial soils and diverse native vegetation structure/composition.
